[0 alt'whom it may concern."

Be it known that we, Barman Baanownn and Gnome .Bnanowan, citizens ofthe United States, and residents of the city of New York, borough of theBronx, in the county.and State of New York, have invented a new andImproved Guide for Hemlning, of which the following is afull, clear, andexact description.

The invention relates to sewin machines having hemming attachments andits object is to provide a newfand improved guide for emming attach mentin such a manner as to uire practically no attention, thus enabling eoperator to attend to a number of sewing machines.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations. ofthe same,

which will be more, fully described hereinafter and then pointed out inthe claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of tliis specification; in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.

Figure 1 ls-across section of the improvement as applied to a sewingmachine having a hemming attachment, the section ,being on the line 1-1of Fig. 2; "Fig. 2-is a sectional plan view of the same on the line 2-2of .ig. 3; Fig; 3is a rear face ofthe improvement, part-being insection, and

guide arms.

The sewing machine A is provided with a ng attachment 3- of anyapproved,

' sewed by the sewing machine A with a view to form the hem in the usualmanner. In

order toguide the material C to the hemmin attachment B in such a mannerthat no urther attention is required on the part Of the operator, thefollowing arrangement which keeper is provided with a clamping i Figs. 4and 5 are face views of modified forms of the' as indicated in Fi samein place on the support F, thus holding the front guide plate H madesired angular position relative to the sup ort F. The front uideplate H is provided with a longitudinzilly-extending slot H, locatednear its upper end and throu h which passes the fabric material Q in aat condition.

The support F is provided with an o cnin 'F'rin which is held verticallyad ustab e a guideway J, adapted to be secured in an adjusted=positionby clamping bolts J extendingthrough vertically-disposed slots F formedin the support F, as indicated in Fig. 3. In the guideway J is'mountedto' slide lon, j;itudi.nall a guide arm K made L- shape, and having anangular or V-shaped 'sloL K through which passes the fabri/ material C,after the latter leaves the slot H in the front plate H. The slot Kextends with its horizontal-portion in the front of'and ad- 'acent tothe front end of the guiding mem-.

er B of the hemming attachment -B, as plainly indicated in Fig. 1 Theguide arm K is ada ted to be fastened to the guideway J by a c ampingbolt K passing througlg a longitudinally-extending slot J formed in thesaid guideway J ,see Fig. 3. Now by the arran mentfiescribed, 'theguideway J. can be adjusted up and 'down and the guide arm K can be adusted longitudinally, so as to bring the fabric material into the properrelation. relative to the hemming attachment B,

1 and 2; Gages L and L are held by set screws L on the guide. arm K andthe front guide plate H, at the slots K, H, so as to guide thenon-hemmed edge 'of the fabric in the direction of the travel :of thefabric, as will be readily understood by reference to Fig. 2.

The slot H projects a distance-beyond the angular end of the slot K (seeFi 2), so that when the fabric material passes through 'the slot H in aflat'condition and through the slot K it is bent up in the angulnrportion of the slot K and the bent up' port-ion is delivered to-theguide member B of the heunning attachment B, so that the portion to behemmed receivesan initial turning over in the slotK', to be fin'allyturned completely over on to the hemming attachment B. 'It will beunderstood that after a piece of fabric material is, started through theguide on the hemming attaichment B no further attentionis required onthe part. ,of the operator, as, the guide II}:

screw 1' for engaging the rod I,:-to fasten the sures a proper feedingof the material in a partly turned over condition onto the hemmingattachment B.

The slot K in the varied to suit the form to be given to the portion tobe hemmed; thus the slot may be varied as indicated in Figs. 4 and 5.For a gages guide arm Ia and i I port on of the said material and dnarrower or wider fabric material the L, L are adjusted on the the plate11. as previously explained.
